The recording of the third webinar in the series, "Outreach and Giving Back: How Volunteerism Leads to Happiness and Fulfilment", is now available. This webinar was moderated by J. Turner Vossller, MD with Pierce E. Scranton, MD, Ruth L. Thomas, MD, Naomi N. Shields, MD, Eric C. Gokcen, MD, Steven F. Conti, MD and Matthew S. Conti, MD serving as faculty.
Webinar Description: Through the Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Foundation Overseas Outreach Projects, AOFAS members have the opportunity to use their surgical expertise to help children and adults in underserved areas. Surgeons volunteer time and pay for their own travel, and the Foundation covers in-country expenses for food, lodging, travel, and logistics support. The Foundation currently sponsors outreach trips to Vietnam and Kenya with plans to expand to new sites in the future.
In part three of the Physician Wellness Series, faculty discuss the powerful impact of this humanitarian work, not just on the patients, but also on the physicians who contribute their time and talents. The panel discusses how their unique experiences in volunteer programs and missions have positively affected their careers and their overall well-being.
